GRAIN AND COTTON.
ANNUAL NETTING OF THE DIRECTORS
or THIS EXCHANGE YESTERDAY.
Report as to the Offerings During the
Ysar-What the Railroads
Have Done.

The annual meeting of the Board of
Directors OF the Grain and Cotton Ex-
change was held yesterday morning at
the close of Change, the first vice-pres-
ident, Mr.. r. A. Dunlop, in the chair ;
Mr.. B. A. Jacob, secretary.
ANNUAL REPORTS.
The annual reports of the officers and
standing committees were presented.
The report of the secretary showst the
Exchange to be in fair condition.
There are only ninety-four members on
the roll. In city with the population
that Richmond has this Exchange,
which is doing so much to assist in
building up the commercial and manu-
featuring interests of Richmond, ought
to have at least two hundred members,
aud it is hoped that many of our busi-
ness men who are not members will mt
once connect themselves with this Ex-
change. 1t is not necessary, as some
might think, for those who may wish
to join to be engaged in the grain or
cotton trade. "Any person or firm
who may be approved by the Executive
Committee can become members, so
they are doing business in the city of
Richmond or the city of Manchester.

The Boys Get Grounded Near Nor
folk ON the Fourth.

The Outing Club Of the Young Mems
Christian Association has returned to
the city from Norfolk, where they were
the guests of the Norfolk Young Mems
Christian Association boys. The main
feature of their visit was the yacht
trip on the Fourth. They left Norfolk
in the morning, arrived at Old Point in
the afternoon, and after spending the
time in bathing, sightseeing, &C., set
sail for Norfolk at $50 F. NJ. The
wind and tide were both against them,
and to add to their discomfort a heavy
rain began falling as soon as they left
Old Point. After various tacks and
the breaking Of the foresail they man
aged to pass Lambert's Point, and
while enjoying the prospect of
getting to Norfolk by midnight the
yacht ran aground about one mile be-
low Norfolk. There they remained,
waiting for high tide, until after
o'clock in the morning, when once more
sail was set for Norfolk. They arrived
there a sleepless crowd and congratu-
lating themselves that they had not
been wrecked.
Mr.. H. Q. Williams, State secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion. sprained his ankle while bathing
at Old Point, and suffered consider
ably.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Application for an Appropriation
for IL by the city.


1t the meeting of the Council Mon
day night a letter written by Captain
+. 7. Reeve. of Company ID, Old First
Virginia infantry, was presented by
Mr. Starke for Mr.. Bodeker. In this
communication Captain Reeve asks the
Conncil to make sufficient appropria-
tion for the Lee Camp Soldiers Home
to enable its managers to take in aa1
care for more disabled Confederate sol
dirs, restricting the additions to Rich
mond men il it is considered advisable
This petition is the outcome Of a re-
jected application Of William NJ. Law
500, an old COLOR bearer of Pickett's s
diTision, who is in the Soldiers Home
atNew Orleans. But as this isan institu-
ton only for Louisiana soldiers, and the
Captain cannot remain there, he wrote
to Charles L. Loehr, secretary Of
Iickett's Division Association, asking
to be admitted to the Soldiers Home.
The Executive Committee of the
Home answered this application by
styling that the place is now full that
their income is only $4,000 per
snnum from the State, and that they
have l25 men on their rolls. The
answer concludes /: eft is impossible
,sr us to take anybody else until we can
nave more income, or there is a vacancy
at the home. We are very willing to
take care of any soldier whose friends
will pay the cost Of his maintenance,
Sl20 per year"
The paper was referred to the FL
nance Committee.

a special ordinance in reference othis

a special ordinance in reference to this
park.
Justice Richardson said he was sorry
he could not concur in the views OF the
City Attorney. He held that under
the statute referred to by Mr.. Meredith
it was necessary for the City Council 10
pass a special ordinance making oil
penal ordinances applicable to the ex-
tended jurisdiction conferred by the
statute of the General Assembly.
The case was sent to the county for
trial, and Sergeant Hulce, who made
the arrest, Immediately carried the ac-
cused down to the courthouse, where
they were taken before Justice Jona-
than.
Mr.. Calder, when put on the stand,
said that the accused we're creating a
disturbance at the Reservoir Park
Tuesday afternoon, and when he spoke
to them he received curses and abuse
in return. He ordered them of the
grounds, but they refused to go. About
this time Sergeant Hulce, of the Third
police district, came up and threatened
to arrest them if they did not behave
themselves The three men defed him,
saying that he had no authority to ar
rest them outside the corporate limits
of Richmond; that they were in Hen
rico county. Sergeant Hulce proceeded
TO arrest them, and difficulty would
have occurred but for several citizens
coming to the assistance of the officer.
Other Witnesses corroborated this
statement, and Avery and Lowry were
fined SO each.

this amount $l3, $50 was rendered by
pedd.ers and sample-merchants from

Under the State laws Mr.. Tinsley is
required to receive payment from any
sample-merchant or peddler applying
for license to do business in any other
portion Of the State. The consequence
is that it is made to appear that cou-
pons are liberally used by the Rich
mOnd merchants, whereas, as a point
of fact, the great portion OF them are
rendered here, where they can be CON
yeniently obtained, for licenses to do
business in other portions Of the State.
Mr.. Tinsley yesterday sent TO the
Hastings Court, where the genuineness
of them has to be proven, all of the
coupons that have been rendered.

THE CALICO MILLs.
Operations to Begin by August Ist-
Persons Engaged.

Mr.. Charles l.. Todd, who on the
18th of June, with Messrs. s. q. Fair
banks and Cyrus Bossieux as associ-
ates, purchased the entire Gallego-
Mills property at public auction, was
asked by a Dispatch reporter yester-
day afternoon when operations in the
four-mill would begin. He replied
that workmen are engaged putting the
entire mill and all of the machinery in
perfect order, and that he expects to
start up certainly by the LIST of August.
Mr.. Todd, in answer to further ques-
tions, said that when the mill is started
a full force will be put tO work, and he
hopes by that time to lay in good sup
ply of wheat of the best quality. The
corn-mill, which has for some time past
been under lease to Mr.. Todd, is still
being run by him individually, but he
says it will eventually merge into the
company's management and business.
The position OF wheat-receiver has
been rendered Mr.. Henry Riddick,
who for n number of years has been
chief grain inspector. Mr.. Berry, who
has for long number Of years filled
that position with entire satisfaction,
has been made head miller. and Mr..

management.
